This low oil pressure DTCs reference documents fault code SPN 100/FMI 17 (Oil Pressure Low) for Detroit DD-series engines on the GHG14 platform. It reproduces the original TruckFaultCodes.com fault tree, from the first check through the final repair, so the code can be confirmed and worked in the exact order the factory intended. Each step lists the measured value or check and the pass or fail branch that follows, matching the layout used in the source document.
low oil pressure DTCs troubleshooting overview
This GHG14 tree lights the Check Engine Lamp only. It clears companion codes SPN 100/FMI 3 and FMI 4, checks whether oil pressure is fluctuating, then inspects oil level, the oil gauge, the pump suction pipe, drive gears and pressure-relief valve, and finally checks for fuel in the oil. Unresolved cases route to the Detroit Customer Support Center. Follow the checks in sequence and verify the repair before clearing the code and releasing the vehicle.
